Insect Waste Management™ (IWM) is a waste-to-value process that harnesses the natural abilities of insects like Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) to upcycle organic waste into high-value resources.
Unlike Insect Farming (IF), which involves the cultivation of insects for animal feed, human consumption, and industrial applications, Insect Waste Management is focused on waste valorisation, tackling disposal challenges that conventional methods fail to address.
Insect farming involves the controlled breeding and rearing of species such as Black Soldier Fly Larvae, crickets, and mealworms for a range of sustainable applications.
This approach delivers environmental, economic, and nutritional benefits—particularly in animal feed and pet food. By using Black Soldier Fly larvae as an alternative to traditional protein sources like soy and fishmeal, insect farming helps reduce water consumption, CO₂ emissions, deforestation, and land use, making it a more sustainable choice for the future.
Insect Waste Management (IWM) is transforming the waste industry by offering a sustainable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient solution. This whitepaper reveals how IWM outperforms traditional waste management methods, from boosting profitability to meeting sustainability goals.
